‘Why do you spell “Almanack” wrong?’

Well, it ain’t ’cause we don’t know no better.

Presumably, Kin Hubbard knew, too, despite having dropped out of school in the seventh grade. He, according to legend and printed “fact” in early Brown County Almanacks, was the originator of the unorthodox spelling.

Hubbard — for those of you, like me, who wondered, upon first visiting the county, who all those cut-out cartoony characters were, peering from odd corners of town — was the originator of “Abe Martin of Brown County.”

Hubbard’s pen-and-ink drawings and pointed wisdom, spoken by the Abe Martin character, first appeared in the Indianapolis News in December 1904. Within seven years, his cartoon and country wit were syndicated and made Brown County famous.

Over the years, until his death in 1930, Hubbard published five Almanacks full of Martin’s sayings, as well as articles purported to be written by Martin’s neighbors — other cartoon figures Hubbard created.

The Almanacks, according to Indiana University professor emeritus David S. Hawes in “The Best of Kin Hubbard,” were intended as parodies of “Poor Richard’s Almanac” or the “Old Farmer’s Almanac.”

And so, they followed the format of being organized by month and containing advice according to the seasons.

For example, “In operating a corn shredder a farmer should always caution his wife against getting her apron caught in the machinery while he is in town playing pool.”

The Brown County Democrat, publisher of the Brown County Almanack since at least the 1970s, used to lean on Hubbard history in every weekly paper. That’s according to the recollections of Keith Fleener, who’s been lurking around

The Democrat office since 1979, and Mike Lewis, editor from 1986 to 1998.

“Greg Temple (owner and publisher of The Democrat, 1970 to 2002) was very keen on preserving all those old ties to that heritage of Abe Martin,” Lewis said.

The misspelling of “Almanack” was just Temple’s style.

“He was such a contrarian, anything that didn’t look like the rest of the world was very much up his alley,” Lewis said.

Temple, however, wasn’t the originator of the Brown County Almanack. According to a blurb in a 1974 issue, he and The Democrat staff revived the tradition in the early 1970s that was started by Brown Countian Tom Hensley in 1965.

Hensley’s quarterlies also spelled Almanack wrong.

Despite their questionable grasp on grammar, the early Brown County Almanacks — like Hubbard’s — contained a whole mess of indispensable wisdom.

There were recipes for backwoodsy delicacies, like Booger Hollow Bean Mess (First steps: “String, snap and wash four pounds of green beans. Cover with four cups of water. Add one pound of ham chunks. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer all day.”)

There was an extensive schedule of goings-on downtown and up hills and down hills around the county. (“Public square dances in the street in Nashville” every Saturday night. “Muzzle loading and musket shoot, 10 a.m., across from the landfill off Railroad Road. Sponsored by the Thunder Creek Long Rifles.”)

And there were bits of history from the hill country, with headlines such as, “There’s gold in these ’ere hills!” “Horse drowned in a bucket,” and “Pen up your goats, bulls and jackasses.”

Today’s Brown County Almanacks still carry the spirit of contrariness and different-ness just for the sake of it by maintaining the wrong spelling.

So, in case you were wondering, we ain’t dumb; we’re just stayin’ in touch with our history.

Sara Clifford has been taking a shine to ol’ Abe and his cartoon cronies since becoming editor of The Democrat last fall and reading up on local history. To regale her with local lore, offer opinions or hurl complaints, you can find her at The Democrat office on Main Street most hours of the day and most days of the week.

Big Woods crafts brews and popular fare

By Tom Lotshaw Brown County Democrat At lunchtime on a Thursday, nearly every table at Big Woods Brewing Co. is buzzing with conversation.

Over plates of portobello mushroom sandwiches and Big Woods burgers, a mix of longtime residents and short-time visitors chats in the cozy, timber-frame building tucked just behind the Van Buren Street shops on Molly’s Lane.

Big Woods Brewing Co., back in midNovember, introduced the art of beermaking to Nashville, coupling it with the established arts of other local craftsmen.

Brown County residents Jeff McCabe, Ed Ryan and Tim O’Bryan, having purchased a former restaurant building, decided to do something they had talked about doing before: opening a micro-brewery in Nashville.

“We came up with the name Big Woods because that’s what a lot of people come to Brown County for,” McCabe said.

In addition to offering locally brewed beers, the owners say they constructed the building to reflect the skills of the wonderful craftsmen of Brown County.

That craftsmanship can be found throughout the building. It includes the timber frame built by local crews without a single nail, the bar built by Daren Kean using Indiana limestone and reclaimed barn wood, and the tap handles carved by local furniture maker Randall O’Donnell.

“As much as we could was done by people here in the county, and we really do think it’s a great showcase of what our local craftsmen can do. It captures the spirit of the Big Woods and Brown County. There are a lot of friends and family here making a great business with that to start from,” McCabe said.

Big Woods Brewing Co. is a small-batch craft brewer, producing one keg at a time.

“We’re really focused on making great American ales. The two that are our signature beers are Tim’s Big Woods Stout and our Possum Trot Ale. We also have an India

“It doesn’t matter if you’re a vegetarian or a meat lover,” McCabe said. “Nobody’s disadvantaged when they come here to eat.”

Big Woods also offers carryout food, delivering to area businesses every Thursday.

“We want Thursdays to be a special day for the business owners and shopkeepers in town who support us. What we want to have here is a place that’s great for the locals and great for tourists,” McCabe said.

If you go Hours at Big Woods Brewing Co.: Big Woods Brewing Co. offers several varieties of handcrafted beer.

Pale Ale, and when it’s available, we have a very credible blond called the Six-Foot Blonde,” McCabe said.

Brewer Tim O’Bryan said his main goal is to offer quality, handcrafted beer. He said he also looks forward to brewing seasonal beers using local Brown County ingredients like berries and honey.

Big Woods’ kitchen is run by chef Emily Stone, whose menu, described as “pub fare with a gourmet touch,” includes appetizers,
